Hi Michele,
Thanks for your question. The rate you receive on your Pensioner Security savings account will depend on how much money you have in the account. You’ll need at least $250,000 in the account to receive the top variable interest rate, with the lowest rate given to balances below $10,000.
Regards,
Tom

Hi Coleen,
The interest rate on this product is 2.55% p.a. You can use a compound interest calculator to work out how much interest you could earn on this amount of money. If you have an account currently then the bank should be able to show you your interest earnings in your account statement.
